Seven Days - Sting from the album "Ten Summoner's Tales"
Transcription by Luis Ferreira
(If you want to give that cool sound of the beginning of the song, just
pull the A string alone and then the D, G and B strings simultaneously,
and immediately mute them with your palm, or whatever. But if you want
to do this, I guess it all sounds better with barre (whatever) chords,
otherwise the strings will ring too much...)
Verse 1
[Cmaj7]
"Seven days" was all she wrote
[Eb] [Bb]
A kind of ultimatum note
[G] [F] [Fadd9]
She gave to me, she gave to me
[Cmaj7]
When I thought the field had cleared
[Eb] [Bb]
It seems another suit appeared
[G] [Eadd9]
To challenge me, woe is me
[Cmaj7]
Though I hate to make a choice
[Eb] [Bb] [G]
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
[F] [Fadd9]
Well, we'll see
[Cmaj7]
I don't think she'd bluff this time
[Eb] [Bb]
I really have to make her mine
[G]
It's plain to see
[E] [E7]
It's him or me
Chorus
[Fmaj7] [F#m7b5] [G]
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
[E7/G#] [Am]
If I make up my mind
[Fmaj7] [G] [E7/G#] [Am]
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
[C7/Bb] [Am] [C7/Bb] [Am]
Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
[Fm] [Cmaj7]
But Sunday'd be too late
Verse 2
[Cmaj7]
The fact he's over six feet ten
[Eb] [Bb]
Might instill fear in other men
[G] [F] [Fadd9]
But not in me, The Mighty Flea (flee?)
[Cmaj7]
Ask if I am mouse or man
[Eb] [Bb]
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
[G] [Eadd9]
He'll murder me in time for his tea
[Cmaj7]
Does it bother me at all
[Eb] [Bb] [G]
My rival is Neanderthal, it makes me think
[F] [Fadd9]
Perhaps I need a drink
[Cmaj7]
IQ is no problem here
[Eb] [Bb] [G]
We won't be playing scrabble for her hand I fear
[E] [E7]
I need that beer
Chorus
[Fmaj7] [F#m7b5] [G]
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
[E7/G#] [Am]
If I make up my mind
[Fmaj7] [G] [E7/G#] [Am]
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
[C7/Bb] [Am] [C7/Bb] [Am]
Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
[Fm] [Cmaj7]
But Sunday'd be too late
Bridge
[Bb] [Cmaj7]
Seven days will quickly go
[Bb] [Cmaj7]
The fact remains, I love her so
[Bb] [F]
Seven days, so many ways
[Bb] [Cmaj7]
But I can't run away
Chorus
[Fmaj7] [F#m7b5] [G]
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
[E7/G#] [Am]
If I make up my mind
[Fmaj7] [G] [E7/G#] [Am]
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
[C7/Bb] [Am] [C7/Bb] [Am]
Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
[Fm] [Cmaj7]
But Sunday'd be too late
Outro
[Cmaj7]
Do I have to tell a story
[Bb] [Cmaj7] [Bb]
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
[Cmaj7]
It's a big enough umbrella
[Bb] [Cmaj7] [Bb] [C]
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Cmaj7 x32000 but I think x35453 sounds better
[Eb] x68886
[Bb] x13331
G 320003 or 355433
[F] 133211
Fadd9 xx3213 but xx3011 will do the job :)
[E] 022100
[Fmaj7] xx3210
F#m7b5 xx4210 (just add your pinky to the previous chord)
[E7/G#] 420100
[Am] x02210
[C7/Bb] x12310
[Fm] 133111
[C] x32010
[Eadd9] 024100
